The documentation should at least give a simple overview and how to
use the plugins, at a minimum. But having good examples, with some
comments in the code can be the additional documentation, on how to
implement the plugin. We're looking at developing our own dbcrypt
plugin, but the sample files that are included in the RC1 Windows zip
file are not enough for me. The sample files are just 3 .cpp files.
Two of those files I can figure out what they are for(DbCrypt.cpp and
CryptKeyHolder.cpp), but what is CryptApplication.cpp used for. If
there would be a compilable example, then I would most likely know
where they belong, and to have some comments describing the functions
in the source code, would go a long way.

Since  FB3.0  will not have a DbCrypt plugin released with it, then it
does  become  important  to  have a proper example that is compilable,
even it does not include any encryption algorithm.  This should give a
good starting point for anybody who wishes to create their own dbcrypt
plugin.
